Question

modifying elements 2020

im planning on buying a R6MKll mirrorless.  i currently use PSE 2020 and love it for what i do.  unfortunately, the new capture mode is c3 and elements uses c2.  can't use RAW in 2020 with the c3.  i know there is a patch but have no idea how to get it.  if i cant use raw, im not going to buy the new camera system.  any help is appreciated (im 80 yrs old so please keep it simple to understand)  thank you,   tom kimberley

Elements 2020 will install Camera Raw 16.x manually.  However, since you only need ACR 15, you can download a copy of that file (ACR 15.4) from Archive.org, using this link.  It may take several seconds for the linked page to load.

 

  • Once you have downloaded the file, double-click on it and a file named Camera Raw.8bi will be installed in the following folder on your computer:       C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
  • Copy the file from that location and paste it into the following folder:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 18\File Formats

There, I've moved your post over to this Photoshop Elements discussion forum.

I see an R6MKll is a camera. You need to ask in a forum that deals with camera issues. This is not a general forum, as I have indicated.

That won't help you either as that is dedicated to RoboHelp issues.

 

It sounds like you are doing something with a camera or photographic software. 

 

This is not the place for such questions. It's like asking your local garage to fix your washing machine.

This is a forum for users of Adobe's RoboHelp product. You are asking in the wrong forum.
